Centrica will assist National Grid in developing procedures for injecting green hydrogen into the National Transmission System (NTS). To achieve the UK government’s net zero carbon ambitions, the UK’s gas networks must decarbonize. National Grid, in collaboration with CNG Services, Element Energy, and Centrica, has been awarded £114,652 as part of Ofgem’s Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) competition for a discovery phase project. Currently, there is no official protocol in place for injecting green hydrogen into the NTS – in large part because the process is very new and has not been required. While an established procedure exists for big entrance…

Wacker Chemie AG has reapplied for European Union funding for its initiative at its Burghausen plant to produce green hydrogen and renewable methanol. In 2020, the WACKER Group appealed to the European Commission’s EU Innovation Fund for funding for its RHYME (Renewable Hydrogen and Methanol) Bavaria project. During the initial review process, RHMYE Bavaria won over more than two hundred competing projects. Despite the jury’s high ranking, it was unable to qualify for the final stage. “The EU has now adjusted its selection criteria as well as increasing annual funding from €1 billion to €1.5 billion, which makes it possible…

RWE Gas Storage West aims to construct a hydrogen storage facility at Gronau-Epe by 2027 as part of the GET H2 initiative. Additionally, storage facilities are a critical component of the future European infrastructure for green hydrogen. The majority of the facility will be constructed on the RWE site in Kottiger Hook. The cavern will be connected to the above-ground facilities, as well as to a future hydrogen transport network, via pipelines located outside the storage site. RWE has filed for funding through the “Important Projects of Common European Interest” (IPCEI) programme, in collaboration with partners from the GET H2…

As part of this year’s Francophonie Festival, a hydrogen-powered ship will sail into Singapore. The French zero-emission hydrogen-powered vessel Energy Observer will make its sole stop in Asia in Sentosa Cove from March 10 to 20. The vessel is currently on a world tour to promote more sustainable energy technologies. On March 19 and 20, the public is invited to visit exhibition forums and learn about the company’s excursions to expedite ecological transition at One 15 Marina’s Open House Pavilion. Its arrival will kick off the festival’s tenth edition, which will run from March 10 to 28 and will focus…

Hexagon Purus has been selected as a partner by North America’s largest provider of mass mobility solutions, New Flyer of America Inc. and New Flyer Canada ULC (collectively “New Flyer”), for the second year in a row. In 2022, Hexagon Purus will supply New Flyer with high-pressure hydrogen storage cylinders for its zero-emission Xcelsior CHARGE H2TM hydrogen fuel cell electric transit buses. The total value of the contract is around USD 2 million (approximately NOK 18 million). Energy transition at the helm New Flyer is a pioneer in zero-emission transportation in North America, establishing sustainable buses and infrastructure in cities…

Egypt and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) inked two memorandums of understanding (MoUs) on Saturday in the fields of green hydrogen and tourism, as well as the establishment of the Alexandria Metro system. This is all part of the state’s commitment to transition to a green economy through creative initiatives, increased human capital investment, and a change to a sustainable and green transportation sector as part of the country’s 2050 climate action policy. The signings took place during a presentation to kick off Egypt’s joint country strategy with the EBRD. The Ministry of International Cooperation and the…

Semcon is assisting Norwegian Hystar in the development of their novel electrolyser technology for green hydrogen production. The goal is to manufacture up to 150 percent more hydrogen using less energy than is now used in conventional procedures. The project is currently being expanded, with Semcon offering more expertise to automate the manufacture of electrolyser stacks that convert power to hydrogen and oxygen. While hydrogen production technology based on PEM electrolysers is advanced at the moment, further development of automated and flexible stack production procedures is required to achieve large-scale hydrogen production. Hystar received extra money from the Norwegian Research…

Over the weekend, Chancellor Karl Nehammer (VP), Raw Materials Minister Elisabeth Köstinger (VP), and Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler (Greens) visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in search of alternatives to Russian gas. They aim to gain access to hydrogen and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to wean themselves from Russian gas. To this purpose, a memorandum of understanding was also signed with Sultan Bin Ahmad Sultan Al Jaber, the UAE’s Minister of Industry. However, this does not indicate that the gases will be supplied to Austria any time soon. On Sunday, Chancellor Nehammer stated that no “miracles” could be expected.…

This year, the city aims to invest 16.3 billion won to give 32.5 million won in incentives to hydrogen car owners. As a result, the customer may get a hydrogen automobile for half the price, valued at around 70 million won.

According to the paper, green hydrogen may be generated at a cost of around 3 euros per kilogram in some European nations by 2030, attaining cost parity with blue hydrogen, which is created from natural gas with the storage of carbon dioxide emitted during the process.
